Correspondence of the Alexandria GAzErTEl.
FIsHEBsvILLE, Va, Jan. l5.-One Of the
saddest deaths which have occurred in this
community land there have been many for
a long time is that of Mrs. Hugh Hamilton,
who died last night. Several weeks ago she
was stricken with paralysis and her condi-
ton has not improved at any time since,
and her death, while anticipated, was nev-
ertheless a shcck to her many friends. She
leaves husband and four little children,
and the warmest sympathy is expressed for
the bereaved husband. Mr.. Hamilton is
we'll known il the county and State as g
breeder of fine sheep, and his many friends
will greatly deplore his sad affliction.
The hanging of Cuverius was a surprise to
some people, as many thought, like the prisoner,
that something would tarn up" to save his life;
and now that he has been hung without confess
ing the crime very many persons will think he
was innocent. or at least not wholly guilty Some
now believe that Miss Madison agreed with Gu
verius that they should both commit suicide, and
in that way account for the trip to the reservoir.
When there Cluverius backed out, and threw the
girl in the water possibly with her consent All
sorts of theories are now advanced, and moro
people now believe him innocent than ever before.
Mis- Eva Timbcrlakc is still lying quite i'll
with pneumonia and complication Of other di-
seases.
Mr.. Grooms, who was paralyzed some time ago,
is still confined to his bed.
The weather here to-day is springlke, and too
good to last long.
The wheat is looking badly, and good many
farmers are holding part of their crop for better
prices "SCRIPToR."

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 20, 1887.
Representative Wilson, of West Virginia,
the member of the House appropriations
committee who has the bill for the District
of Columbia appropriations in charge, said
to the GAZETTE's correspondent this morn
ing that he and the other members Of his
committee were in favor of making an APP
preparation for an ice boat with which TO
keep open the harbor of Washington and
the channel of the Potomac leading to it,
but that they could do nothing by the
fact that nobody had supplied them with
anv estimates or other necessary informa-
ton respecting the matter that would ena.
BILE them to insert a provision for the object
referred TO. The Commissioners of the
District of Columbia have sent to General
Malone an approximate estimate of the
cost of such boat as is required, but up to
two O'Clock to-day the commerce commit

resolution on the subject was referred, and
who sent to both the Treasury and War
Department for Just such Information IS the

In the Senate to-day General Malone in
troduced bill approp;iating $50, 600 for the
completion of the monument to Mary, the
mother of Washington, at Fredericksburg.
The corner stone of this monument was laid
BY President Jackson in 1888, but owing to
the failure of the man 90 whom the snbsrrip
zion of Fredericksburg was entrusted, and to
hhe subsequent failure of Mr.. Burrows, 8
New York gentleman, who proposed to
build the monument at his own expense, it

TIE NATIONAL board of trade, now in
session at Washington, recommends the pas
sage of national law prohibiting the adul-
teraton of food and drink. Now that the
power of Congress in this respect has been
conceded by the adoption of the oleomarga-
rine bill, why it should not be applied to
all other articles as well as to butter is hard
to tell. There is no doubt that the health
of many of the people of the country is seri-
ously affected by the adulterated food and
drink they consume, and if the Constitution
can afford strain, it certainly could DO so
in no better direction than towards the
preservation of the health and lives of the
citizens of the country.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL the crossing OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Shenandoah

ion occurred last night, caused by the north
bound freight train being off the track on the
crossing while the southern bound express train
on the S V. Z. L. was approaching the crossing
The express train was signaled, but their air
brakes failing to work caused the engine of the
Shenandoah Valley train to strike the freight
about the centre of the train, causing total
wreck of the engine Of tue express and five coal
hoppers and one box car. The collision caused
great excitement among the passengers of tho
express train, but no one was seriously injured.

De WITT, the locomotive engineer WHO
was conspicuous in his opposition to the
effort to induce the brotherhood of engi-
neers to join the great railroad strike in the
Southwest last winter, has finally been kill
ed. Two previous attempts to murder him,
and, Incidentally, all on his train, had been
made by train wreckers, and failed; but
the third one, last week, in Nebraska,
proved successful His wisdom and fidelity,
his regard for the true welfare of his fellow
workmen and his consideration for the inter-
ests of his employers, doomed him to de-
struction, but he met his fate like hero.
How different is it with his murderers and
with those who sympathize with them

GOVERNOR ZULIc, of Arizona, belongs to
that unfortunately small class of men who
have the moral courage tc express theis real
thoughts Under the existing territorial
laws of Arizona there is 8 test oath against
Mormons. This law, Gov. Znlic, in his late
message to the territorial legislature, says
should be repealed at once. And that it
should be no really fair believer in republi-
can institutions can have doubt. The
words SIS we'll as the spirit of the Constitu-
ton of the Government prohibit any relig-
ious test or any prescription for opinion;
therefore, a member OF the Mormon Church,
provided he shall commit no overt act con-
trary to the laws is entitled to the same
rights, privileges and immunities under the
Government that are granted to member of
any other church.

THE BILL recently introduced in the SEN

THE BILL recently introduced in the SEN
ate by General Malone to readjust interest
accounts with certain States and the city OF
Baltimore, is the same old bill that has been
before Congress for many years. During
the war of 1912 several of the States adj
yanced the National Government money for
that war. Since then, at different times, ali
the principal of that debt has been paid,
aud the bill referred to is only to pay certain
unpaid interest. Special billsto pay this IN
terest to individual States, among them
Massachusetts, have been passed, and the
money been paid, but no general bill has
vet been passed for that purpose, because
the Southern States, Virginia and South
Carolina, would be beneiciaries. 1t is hoped
that now, with republican to help Vir-
pinia in the Senate, the bill may pass,
though that republican has allowed all OF
his six years term, except six weeks, to ex-
pire before he profered that help.

ATTORNEY GENERAL AYERS, of Virginia,
says that in his opinion the Virginian who
now pays his taxes in coupons lis not en-
titled to the respect or consideration of his
neighbors." In other words, Mr.. Ayers
would have the poor Virginia widow or or
phan daughter, whose husband or father, be-
fore he died, trusting in Virginia's honor and
honesty, had invested some of his savings
in Virginia bonds as safe means whereby
those dependent upon him could pay their
taxes when he would be in bis grave, boycott
ted if she, having no money should attemptto
use the coupons of those bonds as her dead
husband or father Intended they should be
used. Fortunately for the unfortanates re-
ferred TO, and there are some of them in
this city, their neighbors do not agree with
Mr.. Ayers, and do not think they have for
feited either their respect or consideration.

Georgia Citizens Organizing to Drive Out

ATLANTA, Ga, July 23.-The Mormon
missionaries who have been preaching In
the Wrightsboro district of this county,
and who rave succeeded in converting a
large number Of ignorant people to their
religion, have greatly excited the people
who are opposed to them in that section
and In fact the whole country is In q
fever. Many attempts have been made
to rid the country Of them, but without
avail. Al band Of regulators, composed
Of men from Augusta and the Wrights-
boro district, formed and drove them out
of the district. The plan of the regulat-
ors was to tar and feather them and
throw them into tho river and make them
swim Tor the Carolina side, threatning
them with death ifthey returned to Geor-
gia.
With this object In view they proceeded
to the house Of j. Z. Farmer, ten miles
from the city, where the Mormons had
been staying, but upon arriving there
they found the Mormons had flown.
They were, however, Informed by the oc-
cupAnts Of the house that the Mormons
had only left for a day or two In order to
prevent bloodshed, but that when the
prophets returned they would be sup
ported by . larger number of people than
before, who would see that they were not
interfered with. In fact, 1t was stated
that the people would defend the Norm
ons with their lives. The regulators
searched diligently for the Mormons, but
without avail. They are. however, deter
mined to rid the county OF them, and will
watch for their return. From appearan-
css there will probably be bloodshed be-
fore the end of the work.

LONDON, July 23..-The ThistIe is fully
prepared fer her voyage to America, No
alteration has been made in her structure.
She ia fitted with a topmast. a very short
bowsprit and a boom of half the Iengtay
used in racing. She will make the voy-
age under q storm main sail, a small fore
sail and 8 jib stay sail. Her racing spars
and . spare mast will be conveyed to
New York by an anchor line steamship.
Captain Kerr, an old Atlantic sailor, will
command the yacht on her voyage across
the ocean. Captain Barr refuses to ex-
press an opinion as to the Thistle's
chances of winning the American cup,
but asserts that she can run awsy from
the Mayfower in a light wind. He
shakes his head when asked his opinion
of the Volunteer, but admits that from
tho reports he ia lead to consider her q
much greater departure from the usual
American lines than the Thistle is from
the Genesta and the Gafatea. That the
Volunteer is a fast boat Captain Barr adj
mits, but he declines to gaunt the superi-
ority of the Thistle over her. or even to
make comparisons as to the respective
merits and qualities Of the two boats.
Mr.. Macdonald, the Thfstle's mate, how
ever, declared that unless the Volunteer
is able to beat the MaJfower by 20 min
utes, over the New York course, the
Thistle will win the cup.
